• Notes

  Conrad I, called the Peaceful (French: Conrad le Pacifique; German: Konrad der Friedfertige), a member of the Elder House of Welf, was King of Burgundy from 937 until his death. Son of King Rudolph II, and his consort Bertha, a daughter of Duke Burchard II of Swabia. Also known as Conrad III, since he was the third Conrad in his family: his great-grandfather was Duke Conrad II, whose father was Count Conrad I. According to chronicler Ekkehard IV, in a story that is probably apocryphal, when Conrad learned that both the Magyars and the Saracens of Fraxinetum were marching against him, he sent envoys to both armies warning them of the other. The envoys offered Burgundian aid to each invader against the other and then informed them of the other's whereabouts. When the Magyars and Saracens met, the Burgundians held back and only attacked when the opposing forces were spent. In this way, both invading armies were destroyed and the captives sold into slavery. He married - Adelaide of Bellay. Gisela - married to Henry II, Duke of Bavaria Matilda Bertha (964 – 16 January 1016), married Odo I, Count of Blois/ Robert II of France Matilda (969), possibly married Robert, Count of Geneva Rudolph III Gerberga (born 965), married Herman II, Duke of Swabia[5] By his concubine, Aldiud, he had a son: Burchard, Archbishop of Lyons[6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_I_of_Burgundy
